Waltz around Saturn with this retro Sci-Fi-style video made from Cassini photos

Based on imagery alone, the Cassini-Huygens space probe is the gift that keeps on giving. Launched in 1997, Cassini-Huygens has been capturing hundreds of thousands of mind-blowing photos of Saturn and the surrounding solar system, including massive hurricanes on the planet and stunning cyclones.

Called "Around Saturn," the video has been edited to create a cool retro look that recalls Sci-Fi classics such as Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" and even, at times, Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey." Except, of course, this film is not science fiction; it's space transformed into a galactic symphony (with the help of the music of Shostakovich).

This is not the first time Cassini's images have been made into a striking video. An upcoming IMAX film called "In Saturn's Rings," takes the same approach as Di Donato's film but comes up with a much different result. Plus, that film is in 4K. Watch a 4K trailer for "In Saturn's Rings" here.
